Term-Prompt - Changes

Revision history for Perl extension Term::Prompt.

1.04 Wed Jul 04 20:00:00 2007

1.03 Thu Oct 08 20:00:00 2004

Added option 'password' to not echo the value typed.
Added options for menu: 'separator', 'ignore_whitespace' and 'ignore_empties'. This was prompted by Nicolas Cheve discovering that when users mistakenly entered the first letter of a menu item instead of the item number, the code would happily use the letter as a separator of NO entries and happily return if accept_empty_selection was set. Now you can limit the separator list, ignore spurious whitespace between responses (if whitespace is not a valid separator) and ignore consecutive separators.

1.02 Tue Jun 22 20:00:00 2004

Always insure that $num_cols is at least 1. If the longest entry in a list is wider than the screen, then the number of columns goes to zero which leads to a division by zero otherwise. Thank you Andreas J Koenig.

1.01 Thu May 13 21:30:00 2004

Corrected typo at line 82 in Prompt.pm - the entry for code ref was left a 'c' when merged in from Tuomas Jormola's additions instead of changed to an 's. Obviously, this needs a better test suite. Bug 6249 at rt.cpan.org. Thank you, Robert Schott.

1.00 Sat May 08 17:00:00 2004

Corrected type in Changes for 0.13 entry.
Made all Perl version references the same. 5.6.1 is minumum version required to run.
Module version is 1.00. No reason to keep it at pre-zero anymore.

0.13 Sun Apr 11 11:40:57 2004

Maintanence: Package reconstructed using h2xs 1.23 with options '-AXc -nTerm::Prompt -v 0.13'. Minimum supported Perl version is now 5.6.1. Text::Wrap and Term::ReadKey added to the PREREQ_PM section of Makefile.PL. Whitespace cleanups. POD cleanups and expansions. Reordered Changes entries to put most recent at top.
Added 'coderef' functionality (Tuomas Jormola <tjormola@cc.hut.fi>).

0.12 Feb 2004

0.11 Sat Mar 09 04:02:33 EST 2002

This should have been done a lot earlier; the changes were mailed to me by Matthew O. Persico (persicom@acedsl.com) a while back... Sorry!
Removed 5.002/5.005 specific versions; the one section of differing functionality wasn't useful enough to justify maintaining two files.
Added 'menu' functionality.
Added '-n' and '+-n'.
$DEBUG is now a package global that can be set from outside the package in order to debug it.
Changed float regexps to the version in Perl Cookbook, page 44.

0.10 Tue Apr 04 14:22:00 EDT 2000

Further bugfix for PAUSE upload problem - PAUSE needs a .pm file to get the version.

0.09 Tue Apr 04 12:59:15 EDT 2000

0.08 Wed Mar 15 13:05:21 EST 2000

Now have two seperate versions, one for 5.005 and above and one for below; the first uses qr. Grr... I dislike using two seperate files, but it seems the simplest way. Thanks to schinder@pobox.com for reminding me that a simple "if ($] >= 5.005)" won't work.

0.07 Tue Mar 14 10:02:45 EST 2000

legalit now uses qr if Perl version is 5.005 or above, and abbreviation code only matches start of text. Minor improvements to other code.

0.06 Tue Nov 30 18:55:24 EST 1999

termwrap made EXPORT_OK, description added to manpage. Bug in legalit not accepting 0 as legal fixed. Abbreviation code modified to more efficient (copying off of Getopt::Long).

0.05 Wed Nov 10 13:21:03 EST 1999

Missing right bracket restored... my thanks to schinder@pobox.com. I have no idea how I didn't load in 0.04 here and spot the problem...

0.04 Thu Oct 28 06:40:45 EDT 1999

addition of f/F type; change from Term::Size to Term::ReadKey's GetTerminalSize (more portable and doesn't have to be a glob fed to it)

0.03 Fri Oct 22 17:50:12 1999

0.02 Fri Oct 22 15:31:45 1999

0.01 Tue Jul 28 21:04:22 1998
